Resolve shadow warnings that appear in W=2 builds. Instead of using ret to hold the return pointer, save the length in a new variable saved_len and compute the pointer on exit. This also resolves a very technical error, in that ret was declared as a const char *, when it really was a char * const. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140730' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next Two fixes for recently introduced regressions - a memory leak on busy SIGP - pontentially lost SIGP stop in rare situations (shutdown loops) The first issue is not part of a released kernel. The 2nd issue is present in all KVM versions, but did not trigger before commit 7dfc63cf (KVM: s390: allow only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) at a time) with Linux as a guest. So no need for cc stable

A VCPU might never stop if it intercepts (for whatever reason) between "fake interrupt delivery" and execution of the stop function. Heart of the problem is that SIGP STOP is an interrupt that has to be processed on every SIE entry until the VCPU finally executes the stop function. This problem was made apparent by commit 7dfc63cf (KVM: s390: allow only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) at a time). With the old code, the guest could (incorrectly) inject SIGP STOPs multiple times. The bug of losing a sigp stop exists in KVM before 7dfc63cf, but it was hidden by Linux guests doing a sigp stop loop. The new code (rightfully) returns CC=2 and does not queue a new interrupt. This patch is a simple fix of the problem. Longterm we are going to rework that code - e.g. get rid of the action bits and so on. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the EOI exit bitmap (used for APICv) does not include interrupts that are masked. However, this can cause a bug that manifests as an interrupt storm inside the guest. Alex Williamson reported the bug and is the one who really debugged this; I only wrote the patch. :) The scenario involves a multi-function PCI device with OHCI and EHCI USB functions and an audio function, all assigned to the guest, where both USB functions use legacy INTx interrupts. As soon as the guest boots, interrupts for these devices turn into an interrupt storm in the guest; the host does not see the interrupt storm. Basically the EOI path does not work, and the guest continues to see the interrupt over and over, even after it attempts to mask it at the APIC. The bug is only visible with older kernels (RHEL6.5, based on 2.6.32 with not many changes in the area of APIC/IOAPIC handling). Alex then tried forcing bit 59 (corresponding to the USB functions' IRQ) on in the eoi_exit_bitmap and TMR, and things then work. What happens is that VFIO asserts IRQ11, then KVM recomputes the EOI exit bitmap. It does not have set bit 59 because the RTE was masked, so the IOAPIC never sees the EOI and the interrupt continues to fire in the guest. My guess was that the guest is masking the interrupt in the redirection table in the interrupt routine, i.e. while the interrupt is set in a LAPIC's ISR, The simplest fix is to ignore the masking state, we would rather have an unnecessary exit rather than a missed IRQ ACK and anyway IOAPIC interrupts are not as performance-sensitive as for example MSIs. Alex tested this patch and it fixed his bug. [Thanks to Alex for his precise description of the problem and initial debugging effort. A lot of the text above is based on emails exchanged with him.] Reported-by:

x86 does not automatically set rflags.rf during event injection. This patch does partial job, setting rflags.rf upon fault injection. It does not handle the setting of RF upon interrupt injection on rep-string instruction. Signed-off-by:
-
Nadav Amit authored
This patch updates RF for rep-string emulation. The flag is set upon the first iteration, and cleared after the last (if emulated). It is intended to make sure that if a trap (in future data/io #DB emulation) or interrupt is delivered to the guest during the rep-string instruction, RF will be set correctly. RF affects whether instruction breakpoint in the guest is masked. Signed-off-by:

Haswell and newer Intel CPUs have support for RTM, and in that case DR6.RTM is not fixed to 1 and DR7.RTM is not fixed to zero. That is not the case in the current KVM implementation. This bug is apparent only if the MOV-DR instruction is emulated or the host also debugs the guest. This patch is a partial fix which enables DR6.RTM and DR7.RTM to be cleared and set respectively. It also sets DR6.RTM upon every debug exception. Obviously, it is not a complete fix, as debugging of RTM is still unsupported. Signed-off-by:

free_nested needs the loaded_vmcs to be valid if it is a vmcs02, in order to detach it from the shadow vmcs. However, this is not available anymore after commit 26a865f4 (KVM: VMX: fix use after free of vmx->loaded_vmcs, 2014-01-03). Revert that patch, and fix its problem by forcing a vmcs01 as the active VMCS before freeing all the nested VMX state. Reported-by:

If the RFLAGS.RF is set, then no #DB should occur on instruction breakpoints. However, the KVM emulator injects #DB regardless to RFLAGS.RF. This patch fixes this behavior. KVM, however, still appears not to update RFLAGS.RF correctly, regardless of this patch. Signed-off-by:

RFLAGS.RF was cleaned in several functions (e.g., syscall) in the x86 emulator. Now that we clear it before the execution of an instruction in the emulator, we can remove the specific cleanup of RFLAGS.RF. Signed-off-by:
-
Nadav Amit authored
When an instruction is emulated RFLAGS.RF should be cleared. KVM previously did not do so. This patch clears RFLAGS.RF after interception is done. If a fault occurs during the instruction, RFLAGS.RF will be set by a previous patch. This patch does not handle the case of traps/interrupts during rep-strings. Traps are only expected to occur on debug watchpoints, and those are anyhow not handled by the emulator. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140715' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next This series enables the "KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE" ioctls on s390 to make the cpu state settable by user space. This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and offlining on cpus.) As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way. Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.

Let's move the vcpu wakeup code to a central point. We should set the vcpu->preempted flag only if the target is actually sleeping and before the real wakeup happens. Otherwise the preempted flag might be set, when not necessary. This may result in immediate reschedules after schedule() in some scenarios.

This patch cleans up the code in handle_wait by reusing the common code function kvm_vcpu_block. signal_pending(), kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer() and kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() are sufficient for checking if we need to wake-up that VCPU. kvm_vcpu_block uses these functions, so no checks are lost. The flag "timer_due" can be removed - kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer() tests whether the timer is pending, thus the vcpu is correctly woken up. Signed-off-by:

This patch fix bug reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73331, after the patch http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg105230.html applied, there is some progress and the L2 can boot up, however, slowly. The original idea of this fix vid injection patch is from "Zhang, Yang Z" <yang.z.zhang@intel.com>. Interrupt which delivered by vid should be injected to L1 by L0 if current is in L1, or should be injected to L2 by L0 through the old injection way if L1 doesn't have set External-interrupt exiting bit. The current logic doen't consider these cases. This patch fix it by vid intr to L1 if current is L1 or L2 through old injection way if L1 doen't have External-interrupt exiting bit set.

Certain instructions (e.g., mwait and monitor) cause a #UD exception when they are executed in user mode. This is in contrast to the regular privileged instructions which cause #GP. In order not to mess with SVM interception of mwait and monitor which assumes privilege level assertions take place before interception, a flag has been added. Signed-off-by:

Emulator accesses are always done a page at a time, either by the emulator itself (for fetches) or because we need to query the MMU for address translations. Speed up these accesses by using kvm_read_guest_page and, in the case of fetches, by inlining kvm_read_guest_virt_helper and dropping the loop around kvm_read_guest_page. This final tweak saves 30-100 more clock cycles (4-10%), bringing the count (as measured by kvm-unit-tests) down to 720-1100 clock cycles on a Sandy Bridge Xeon host, compared to 2300-3200 before the whole series and 925-1700 after the first two low-hanging fruit changes.

When the CS base is not page-aligned, the linear address of the code could get close to the page boundary (e.g. 0x...ffe) even if the EIP value is not. So we need to first linearize the address, and only then compute the number of valid bytes that can be fetched. This happens relatively often when executing real mode code. Signed-off-by: -

We do not need a memory copying loop anymore in insn_fetch; we can use a byte-aligned pointer to access instruction fields directly from the fetch_cache. This eliminates 50-150 cycles (corresponding to a 5-10% improvement in performance) from each instruction. Signed-off-by: -
Paolo Bonzini authored
do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn. This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop. It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long anyway, but it prepares for the next patch. The overflow check is tricky, but correct. Because do_insn_fetch_bytes has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15. So it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read. Signed-off-by:
